Not sure if I should post this here or in the official forum, but hey here goes!
Would it be possible for one of the devs to please list the steps needed to run NIS headless? By this I mean NIS on a remote machine running 24x7 where a NCC can use it remotely periodically?
I have a RaspberryPi running NIS but it is not clear how to start and boot NIS.
Thanks

open port 7890 on the rasp. get the ip of the rasp pi, enter ip into "host" in the settings for connecting to nis. Save that and turn off local nis.
open port 7890 on the rasp. - Done
get the ip of the rasp pi - Done (it is static)
enter ip into "host" in the settings for connecting to nis - Done
Save that and turn off local nis. - Done
Problem - NCC >>> NIS requires to be booted
Problem - Boot local node >>> Unknown ErrorKC
Is your local node running Linux?
If so, this makes your NIS local:
ssh -l root -f rasp_ip -L 7890:localhost:7890
If not, probably you can do the same with your SSH client, whichever it is.
I tried this using Putty on Windows 8 whereby the port, 7890, should have been tunnelled from the local machine to the RaspberryPi but this didn't work.
In the NIS config.properties files it has a key section and node, is this something that is being developed? Can NIS boot automatically without the need for NCC?
For now I guess I either need to install a Linux in a VM, or run NCC and xWindows on RaspberryPI to boot NIS?
